They've been around for a while mate. Haven't cracked it into mainstream yet though.

ACDC for attitude

Chisel for soul

For musicianship I'd give it to Sebastian Hardie.

I watched SH supporting some overseas band called Yes a couple of years ago and they stood up pretty damn well.

Good to see a home gown band stretching beyond pub rock. Class.

Phil Smalls Dad is a customer of mine, I put a muffler on his car yesterday!

Hunters and Collectors were another great Aussie band, the holy grail is a classic

I was referring to them in the mainstream sense. They are definately bigger in the U.S. than they are here that's for sure.

Well... being a bit precious and pendantic about it.
I think being founded in Melbourne with 2/3 of the original members being Australian makes Crowded House an Australian band :twisted:

Good list though, I'm sure the 'ear of the beholder' will insert many you have missed.
